==En.wiki articles I started about women==

I have at least one challenger, out there, who I suspect has (falsely!) concluded I hate women. Many years ago, around the time I became aware of the criticism that the wikipedia had a bias against articles about women, I made an effort to increase the number of articles I started about women, women in science, women in the arts, and elewhere.

This list is in more or less last in first out order. It lists articles I started about women, since 2010. It lists all I can think of, including a small number that were deleted. <!-- The official tool for listing someone's article creations is not 100 percent reliable. It can confuse new redirects and disambiguation pages with actual articles. It fails to recognize when someone has changed a redirect into an article. And there are other new article creations it misses, for reasons I can't determine. -->

<!--
I have had challengers who have stated (paraphrasing from memory) "Geo Swan is a serial violator of BLP". A small number of these articles ''were'' deleted at AFD. I question whether that makes me a "serial violator". I question whether good faith disagreement over TOOSOON should make one the target of an accusation of being a serial policy violator. I am going to link to some notes I made, in 2012,
[[en:User:Geo Swan/BLPs started 2011-02 to 2012-08]]. Would the record show I was a serial policy violator? I concluded the innuendos from the most persistent person to spread were not based on my actual reacord. At '''<code>[[en:User talk:Geo Swan/BLPs started 2011-02 to 2012-08|the talk page]]</code> '''

I have tried out non-WMF wikis. Every wiki I go to I do my best to follow the rules there. I tried out one run by DARPA, '''<code>http://complexoperations.org</code>''', IIRC. It was supported by DARPA funds, and I did my best to follow DARPA rules there. I follow the rules whereever I am. I must have been trying complexoperations.org out in 2011, because I remember explicitly asking whether and how I could cite information that came from WikiLeaks.

For those who don't remember, it was the US Government's official position that any US Government information, released by WikiLeaks, that had been officially classified as a secret, retained its secret classification - even though anyone with a computer could access it with little effort. The official position was that anyone who had been granted a security clearance would have their security clearances stripped from then, if they viewed any information from WikiLeaks. Students, who thought they might one day work in Government, were warned that viewing information from WikiLeaks would mean they could '''never''' get a security clearance.

So, what did the administration of this DARPA funded wiki say? I was told I couldn't directly cite WikiLeaks, or any mirrors of WikiLeaked documents. But I was free to cite any document I liked written by a third party who had reviewed the WikiLeaked documents. I could quote or summarize those third parties' conclusions. And, IIRC, I could paraphrase any direct quotes those third parties made to a WikiLeaked document.

Questions for en.wiki administrator Moneytrees...

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

En.wiki administrator Moneytrees closed a discussion on en:WP:ANI today, ruling I was banned from en.wiki.

Moneytrees wrote:

Closing this, this has been here for close to a month and responses have petered out- no need to drag it out any longer. Commenters are pretty unified: {{Ivanvector}}'s actions are endorsed, and there is consensus for Geo Swan to be community banned.
  1. Should it matter whether the record shows I actually did not do what my accusers claim I did?
  2. The main accusation I faced was that en:Dan Trotta was an en:WP:ATTACK page. Did you, User:Moneytrees, consider taking thirty seconds to look at en:Dan Trotta yourself, to confirm, for yourself, it was an en:WP:ATTACK page?
  3. Would you still have ruled I merited a site ban if you found en:Dan Trotta was NOT an en:WP:ATTACK page?
  4. Aren't community bans, theoretically, appealable? In theory, isn't an individual who has been community banned, entitled to request re-instatement, stating they are contrite, understand what they did wrong, and offering a promise not to do that again?
  5. So, as the person who made the ruling, do you think it was your responsibility to indicate what I should promise not to do again, if I were to appeal this ban? If that wasn't your responsibility, whose responsibility do you think it was?

Inquiring minds want to know. Geo Swan (talk) 02:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

I sense that this will go nowhere, but oh well. I'm willing to elaborate:
My ban was based on the consensus in that thread, not on who was right and who was wrong. It doesn't matter if you think you were in the right and did nothing wrong. Essentially everyone commenting in that thread believed you had done wrong, and no one explicitly opposed the ban. Even the comments in support of your past contributions believed you had done wrong in this instance. I can't close it like, "Well, even though there is clear support for a ban, you're all wrong, and he's right, so no ban." That's not how these discussions work. Of course, I don't want a ban I do to be unreasonable or unjust in some way, I looked into the background. I had already seen the deleted page and the resulting discussion at the time in 2021. I revisited the deleted page while looking at this discussion.
The content on the page is mostly OK, but the context in which it was created makes it a different story. You created a headshot of the subject by cropping a larger picture. Someone claiming to be the subject wanted the photo deleted. You get into an argument with them, and say, "If this image was in use, say in a brand new wikipedia article on Dan Trotta, we would almost certainly decline your request for a courtesy deletion, because it was in use. For about 30 seconds I considered starting a nice fair article on Dan Trotta, but I didn't do so because it might seem like a dickish move on my part. [...] 19:12, 28 February 2021" Then, at 20:09, 28 February 2021, an hour later, you created the article and included the image. This makes it reasonable to think that you created the page to disparage or spite the subject, making it an attack page. It doesn't matter that the article was neutral, it doesn't matter if it wasn't your intent to mock the subject, and it doesn't matter if the user you were arguing with wasn't actually the subject. It doesn't matter.
When I block someone for copyright violations as an independent admin action, I always provide a rationale and advise them on what to do. This is different from my job here as the closing admin, which is to assess consensus in the thread and carry out the result. I have no responsibility to give you recommendations for a future appeal. You will have to rely on yourself to come up with an appeal. Maybe there are some friends who could help you. But it is not my responsibility in anyway. You currently don't have access to your email or talk, so options are the en:Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System where volunteer admins can copy an appeal to a noticeboard, or an email to Arbcom, who can restore your talk page access for an appeal to the community.
You may think I answered none of your questions, but if you read carefully, you will realize I answered all of them.
I will give you some parting advice though. Stop. There were serious suggestions in the thread that you be reported to Terms and Service. They can give you a conduct warning or globally ban you. Those two things are even more serious than a community ban and are even harder to appeal. Further lawyering around this issue will not help your cause and will push you closer to a global ban. Take a break, and maybe come back in a few years when there is personal change. Moneytrees (talk) 03:21, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

En.wiki articles I started about women

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have at least one challenger, out there, who I suspect has (falsely!) concluded I hate women. Many years ago, around the time I became aware of the criticism that the wikipedia had a bias against articles about women, I made an effort to increase the number of articles I started about women, women in science, women in the arts, and elewhere.

This list is in more or less last in first out order. It lists articles I started about women, since 2010. It lists all I can think of, including a small number that were deleted.
